Words By Which to Live

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."-Theodore Roosevelt

got a new camera, the Canon PowerShot SD 1100 IS, love it and so glad I can take pics again!

here's one of malachi and our first garden lettuce of the season.speaking of garden i should get a picture of that. it's pitiful looking really. we have a lot of beautiful lettuce but all the other veggies are barely sprouted, go figure. we'll see how long it takes them to come up. nonetheless we enjoyed the lettuce in our salad last night and very grateful for it. (btw, if you want some lettuce let me know, there is no way we can eat it all.)

and with our other camera out of commission i missed zoe's 11 month update. she is a walking maniac. not so into food. beginning to spend small chunks of time looking at books by herself. loves her brother, though she puts up with a lot of teasing. seems to say "da" for yes,maybe we have some russian in our blood?:). she also says mama, papa and can sign 'all finished'.
